The tsukemen boom continues, especially for men. It feels like it's already booming, or it's completely settled. It may be only a matter of time before it becomes a national dish following ramen.

Do you know "Otsukemen Expo ", an event for people who love Tsukemen? For tsukemen lovers, it may not be necessary to explain this event, but let me introduce it.


This is the 4th year of this gourmet event, where popular tsukemen restaurants selected from all over the country come together. The executive committee offered to the stores every year, but this year we solicited stores from all over the country, and 24 selected stores that won the web vote from about 100 stores will fully appear. That's right. It's kind of magnificent.


That's why the 2012 Otsukemen Expo, which is a bit different from the usual year, started on September 27 in front of Hamamatsucho Station in Tokyo. The session until October 17th will be divided into 3 terms, and 8 stores will each cut the ho. The stub of the meal ticket is a voting ticket, and you can vote for your favorite restaurant. It is said that the number one in Japan will be decided by "OMD" (deliciousness satisfaction) calculated by the total number of sales / number of votes.

Each tsukemen is 800 yen, and the girls-only "women's prime" is 700 yen. The event will be held from 11:00 to 22:00, and the last order will be 21:30. The shops have changed, so you can enjoy it whenever you go. The lineup varies from super famous stores to up-and-coming stores. It is an event that both tsukemen connoisseurs and beginners can enjoy.
